Koei, Playlogic Join ESA... Crave Rejoins

By gamepolitics

Game publishers' lobbying group the Entertainment Software Association issued a press release this morning announcing two new members as well as a return to the fold by one firm that bailed in 2008.

Crave, which departed last June, returns along with ESA noobs Koei and Playlogic. ESA CEO Mike Gallagher commented on the new additions:

Our growing membership is a reflection of the ESA's valued and successful work on the key public policy issues facing the entertainment software industry. Crave Entertainment, KOEI and Playlogic are key partners in leading that effort, and I am pleased to welcome them to the ESA.

GP: The recent influx of small firms to the ESA is likely driven by a change in membership pricing structure and may be linked to E3 exhibitor fees. As usual, the ESA has released its good news on Monday morning.
